DESCRIPTION:Prioritizing Infrastructure Investment: From Current Assets to
  Future Growth \nGlobal Development Lab Guest Lecture with Dr. Stéphane 
 Straub\nInfrastructure underpins economic growth\, shapes development traj
 ectories\, and determines how effectively societies deliver value to their
  people. Yet decisions around infrastructure investment are rarely simple\
 ; often constrained by incomplete data\, unclear returns\, and competing p
 riorities.\nIn this talk\, Dr. Stéphane Straub\, Chief Economist for the 
 Infrastructure Vice-Presidency at the World Bank Group\, will present the 
 findings of a new WBG report – Prioritizing Infrastructure Investment. 
 The report draws on a comprehensive analysis of infrastructure assets acro
 ss many countries\, examining the social rates of return on infrastructure
  investment and how countries can optimise their investment mix to maximis
 e value for people.\nThe report and its accompanying datasets are designed
  to equip governments\, practitioners\, and development finance experts wi
 th the tools to prioritise infrastructure investments more effectively. \n
 Dr. Straub will present the report’s findings and reflect on the World B
 ank Group’s broader learning from infrastructure projects around the wor
 ld\, followed by a Q&A session.\nAgenda:\n\n10.00-10.05 – Welcome from D
